NBA legend Michael Jordan has been sued by a woman, Pamela Smith, who claims he fathered her 16-year-old son. She wants a paternity test.

Smith claims she got pregnant after having sex with MJ in 1995 and gave birth to Grant Pierce Jay Jordan Reynolds, a.k.a. Taj Jordan, in 1996. 

Michael Jordan was married to Juanita Vanoy, with whom he has three kids, at the time; MJ and Juanita are divorced, and he is engaged to Yvette Prieto.

Pamela wants a paternity test to prove Jordan’s the dad, plus full custody and child support, and for His Airness to pay the teenager’s medical expenses.

Court documents do not describe the relationship between Smith and Jordan, but the full court press is clearly on, as Taj also posted this video in December:

In 2008, Lisa Miceli made similar claims against Jordan, however DNA tests proved he was NOT the father and he ended up counter-suing pretty aggressively.
